I love how DM Scotty uses household materials instead of buying everything from a specialist store, but he makes everything look great through his own ingenuity.

[@theDMsCraft]

I like how he does it too =)

[@boredomisgoodforyou8319]

KV 467 Agreed.

[@donblack1571]

For sure

[@macgruber1920]

This is so cool! So glad I found this, needed an easy tent for a campaign with materials I have laying around. Huge thanks for this video 8 years later!

[@RevPanda]

Brilliant... I'm sitting here slackjawed at how easy it was to make. Brilliant.

[@theDMsCraft]

RevPanda Thank you, that is always my goal.

[@thehypergamer9873]

TheDMsCraft hey Scotty, how could I do this to make it look like animal furs as my barbarian tribe hunts bears?

[@brysonbaker3125]

@@thehypergamer9873 If you can find little bits of leather or something and paint in a different color and everything it might work

[@jaredperry681]

man you always have the simplest yet most brilliant ideas for props I was just working on an orc camp myself and I would have never thought to use a plastic fork that way

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad you found it helpful...have fun crafting.

[@dmsasquatch5761]

Scotty, You never cease to amaze me sir... This SCREAMS a Warcraft campaign setting for me.. Ive been playing Warcraft RTS lately... I am patiently waiting for part 2.. get well bud

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks man, very Warcraft...warrrrhhhhh(my best orcy scream)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Cracking tent tutorial mate, I'd have never thought of the radiating cardboard sub-structure, I've always used polystyrene and babywipes for the canvas :-)

[@theDMsCraft]

cheap N' easy

[@johnr7279]

This video is the one that inspired me to buy a pack of cheapo plastic forks. They've yet to be used for tents like this but eventually will. I did use some on an Orc ship I built and they also make some great giant crossbows. More uses to come but they have that great bone look to them.

[@theDMsCraft]

I agree

[@ultimateninjaboi]

So glad I found these videos. Been a major "Theatre of the Mind" type player, but have been wanting to start making physical stuff for games, or even just to have around the house

[@theDMsCraft]

ultimateninjaboi Welcome to the Craft.

[@benjaminjack867]

Can't believe I'm just now finding your channel, love this build

[@theDMsCraft]

Welcome aboard!

[@Stormshadow207]

I found your channel the other day and it's a gem! This project is especially ingenious! Thank you.

[@theDMsCraft]

Jachin312 Very welcome, have fun crafting.

[@nathanexplosionn]

Scotty, once again....your crafting work SHINES! fine work.

[@carlosfirpi1878]

You are a terrain crafting Genius... or at least you are incredible at showing things you find. Thank you good SIR!

[@antiquariancrafts2454]

I was at a sci-fi and fantasy fair in England a few weeks ago and a lot of people had made tents like these, so that shows the influence of this video, DM Scotty.

[@theDMsCraft]

Oh wow...cool

[@hanelyp1]

I presume good weather, because tents in the pattern depicted would not handle wind or rain well.

[@AziaXtremeNFinity]

all yur videos are like watchin a cooking show even though it doens't make me hungry

[@theDMsCraft]

LOL...now I will have to make some terrain out of food.

[@darkslurpee]

Very cool! I made one and instead of doing the black base paint, I left it just the paper towels and gave it a light brown wash with low and highlights. Ended up looking like skin!

[@theDMsCraft]

Nice!

[@earlteagrey]

Great drum-beat intro. Real fun camera work. Also, the fork! GENIUS! I never would have thought of or guessed that!

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad you enjoyed it man.

[@justinkline8259]

Also, the fork! GENIUS! 2nd!

[@Steampunkrat12]

Got my tent drying at the moment, i messed up a had to make multiple bits for the skeleton, but i think i made it a bit bigger than three inches. thats okay though, had to use multiple paper towels. I look forward to when it is dry. love that i came across this tutorial. great and easy stuff.

[@theDMsCraft]

Great thing about crafting is you can do it your way...my vids are only suggestions...most importantly have fun.

[@JamboJamie100]

Ive never seen something like this. AWESOME!

[@theDMsCraft]

+Mr Jamie McC Glad you enjoyed the vid, check out my Orky Ballista.

[@JamboJamie100]

+theDMsCraft Ive just subscribed. Currently watching the second part to this tutorial

[@JamboJamie100]

Do you do any Bolt Action /WW2 stuff?

[@theDMsCraft]

Awesome, I have hundreds of vids...enjoy and welcome aboard.

[@SailorBarsoom]

Those are awesome tents! They could also work in an Ice Age setting, as the homes of a tribe of mammoth hunters. I really like it.

[@theDMsCraft]

Very true...lots of applications.

[@thehippiecrafter7439]

This one is a personal favorite of mine!

[@theDMsCraft]

So glad you like it, a very popular build of mine.

[@carlossoltero20]

The fork idea can also come in handy when crafting some sort of traps and/or icicles. Just my two cents!

[@theDMsCraft]

Great ideas.

[@psychedelikchameleon]

I love this. I don't know what I'd use it for as I don't play tabletop games... but I want to make one anyway as it looks so much fun! This is the first of your videos I've watched, looking forward to seeing many more. 😀

[@theDMsCraft]

thanks for watching

[@StrongholdCrafterKev]

Great idea for an orchish tent.

[@pblackcrow]

Thank you Scotty, that helped me immensely! I needed that for the knight in the part. Although, I think I will cut the inside cardboard, but leave the top, sides, and middle.portion or glue the top and side parts to a pencil and use it as the support post and on the inside do a layer of paper towels to hide it.

[@theDMsCraft]

Cool, glad I inspired you.

[@boredomisgoodforyou8319]

Fantastic tent

[@nemooh]

I really wanted to see some green DM Scotty.

[@theDMsCraft]

LOL, only on the thumbnail.

[@roosty19]

Looks great! I might have to try this in 10mm scale. I did the mountains in a similar manner like you did a long time ago and it worked great for that scale, so this should work too! :)

[@theDMsCraft]

Awesome!

[@ShinKyuubi]

Definitely Orky the boyz would use that for sure, even in the world of 40K I can see the Space Orks using something like this since their stuff is usually ramshakle and junky looking so I can totally see them using this kind of tent and the tusks too. Mork and Gork would definitely approve of it for a Waagh.

[@theDMsCraft]

Cool,multi-genre orcs!

[@RoughneckRC]

I use to play mordheim wish you where around then for all your cool builds , this has gotten me thinking about starting to play again Very cool , I scaled this up for a 1/16 build for a tank film i am working on. Thank you for making this great channel I subscribed

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad I inspire you!

[@EasterIslandStudios]

Wow, so easy, cheap, and awesome! Quick question though, my paper towels aren't hardening quite how I like them. I used 2-Ply towels, would you imagine that 1 ply or different towels might harden better?

[@theDMsCraft]

They can take some time to fully harden....several coats of glue can help also.

[@13thBear]

Orkness rising! Thumbs up...again! Great idea. :)

[@RodrigoScalia]

Thwnks from Brazil, great inspiration

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome

[@orikpio6826]

Could you make some warhammer skaven terrain? Thanks

[@Joeofthemasks]

Gonna use this to make Raider urts

[@theDMsCraft]

perfect

[@joehayward4545]

Very good. I am still working on the alien scene.

[@dichot]

brilliant build Scotty - definitely building these for GuildBall. you also inspired me to buy a glue gun! my first, my preciouuuussss. however - any chance you might do a quick quide as to when you use the hot glue gun vs PVA as I see you swapping between the two for various jobs. first and foremost i'm guessing anything that might melt is not hot glue friendly, but is there anything else that's not great from a more 'chemical' point of view?

[@maddymat]

Awesome... another really great craft!

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks much =)

[@MrKevBurns]

These look great!

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks =)

[@RangerGeek71]

I msde almost ten of these for my local game store to have an orc table. Thanks

[@theDMsCraft]

So cool...have fun

[@fr3akz77]

Generally speaking, how long does it take for paper towels with glue to dry for these tents and purple worm style projects?

[@theDMsCraft]

Christopher Sales can really vary depending on airflow, heat and humidity. Usually a day or 2 will do it.

[@thegamestore8535]

YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!! HOLY SMOKES!

[@theDMsCraft]

Why thank you...very kind of you to say.

[@oscarcervantes1673]

i think it should be awesome a list of the materials at the description =)

[@theDMsCraft]

great idea

[@14dcook]

I was wondering if you ever thought about making an orc longhouse or chieftain's hut?

[@theDMsCraft]

I have...all vids in the pipe.

[@14dcook]

Oh, oops. Sorry

[@codysingleton6101]

Hey DM Scotty, I'm having issues with my cardboard bases on my terrain warping and bowing out. is there anyway to keep the flat in the future?

[@theDMsCraft]

+cody singleton Some cardboard seems "stronger" than others. Try to use the stiffest you can find.

[@SteamTitan]

these would work really well for ogre tents from Warhammer Ogre Kingdoms too

[@theDMsCraft]

Very true!

[@theDMsCraft]

Others have called me this also...lol

[@GarrettChapin]

for Goblins would you just make smaller ones?

[@theDMsCraft]

Yepper, that would work and be fun as normal size PCs try to enter and get tangled up in small tents...lol

[@Halloweenville]

Awesome! Thanks Scotty!

[@theDMsCraft]

Very welcome, glad you liked it.

[@missyk2454]

I maaaa~aaay have built this using animal safe materials....for my hermit crabs XD They love it and have strategy meetings every so often within XD

[@theDMsCraft]

Fun =)

[@dominikbedson1078]

What size paper towel were used?mine seem to be too small as they do not reach the bottom of the tents

[@theDMsCraft]

Some paper towels come in half size. You could use several at once and tear off extra or stash it under the tent.

[@kevinwatts8221]

Surprised you didn't make it lift off to reveal playable inside the tent?

[@theDMsCraft]

Would be very easy to do.

[@samuelwhosoever4995]

do you come up with these your self? this is awesome!

[@theDMsCraft]

Sure do...all Scotty

[@SoldierSpider50]

Thank you so much. This was a great video.

[@theDMsCraft]

glad you liked the idea.

Hi very nice HPB

[@hotknux]

[@twanger6857]

I made mine hollow so I could have miniatures move around in there

[@theDMsCraft]

Cool

[@lanasmith4795]

Wouldn't that make the substructure really weak?

[@CloranMarketing]

omg..I need part 2...lol...

[@theDMsCraft]

Working...I picked up a bug and it has delayed production.

[@CloranMarketing]

no worries..ty.just watched 2nd part lol...love the vids !!!

[@Gregory_Goodnight]

How long does it take to dry and harden?

[@theDMsCraft]

really depends on conditions. If you put it in front of a heater vent or fan should dry overnight.

[@guilhermefigueiredo7135]

What paper did u use?

[@theDMsCraft]

Simply used paper towels.

[@dandancjff]

Nothing like getting your orc on

[@theDMsCraft]

You know it.

[@horkosofdonso7624]

love this vid so good

[@theDMsCraft]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@sarcicarol]

this is AMAZING

[@theDMsCraft]

Thanks, and fun =)

[@josephisaacson8211]

Where do you get cardboard that is not in boxes

[@theDMsCraft]

Go to a place that throws out a lot of cardboard. Many larger boxes have interior flaps that are pristine cardboard.

[@aumagnum]

Gots ta make it nice n' orky!

[@theDMsCraft]

I hear dat!

[@liwiathan]

Tine ribs?

[@theDMsCraft]

The pointy things on forks

[@GrinderhouseFilms]

Call me crazy, but did your voice get deeper?

[@theDMsCraft]

Yes, I orced out.

[@CloranMarketing]

been going back an watching some of ur vids....still love em...but I do have a problem.......after like 2 years now...I still CAN NOT join your facebook group....not sure if u remember me or not.......

[@theDMsCraft]

[@dungeonmasterjake2232]

Wow. By far your greatest video!!!! I love all your work but this is particularly good..... ps. Im uploading some d&d videos like yours and I was wondering if you'd check them out. Not sure when I'll have them up but very soon.

[@theDMsCraft]

[@rummugtheorc1675]

This is a misnomer we orcs don’t live in tents we live in round shaped huts!!!!

[@theDMsCraft]

So sorry Rum Mug...I hate to spread misinformation.

[@rummugtheorc1675]

TheDMsCraft the tents you made, do look nice though.

[@TheBlackSpiralDancer]

If I could love this I would so a like and subscribe will have to do. Awesome!

[@bradleyunderhill6449]

I tried it but didn't work anyone might no why

[@theDMsCraft]

After the water glue mix dries paint a coat of glue on?...Did you use Glue-All or school glue?

[@bradleyunderhill6449]

TheDMsCraft I couldn't get it to harden I used a multi purpose pva glue thank you for responding
